Did something change in the Misterhouse - User forum?

[mbahr]

I'm no longer able to post messages in the misterhouse-user forum.  Is the forum closed?  Or, is this "user error"?

Ditto.  I use Nabble and I am no longer able to post new topics in "Misterhouse-User" (hyperlinks are gone).  However, I can respond to existing threads including one I started several days ago.  Something has definitely changed in the last week.

BTW, Nabble now indicates that I post "in a child forum listed above" namely "Misterhouse-Issues".  What's up with that?

I'm not sure who created the nabble "mirror" of the misterhouse-users list.
  Whoever it is may be able to figure out what's happening.  I don't think
that there is anything we can do from the main sourceforge list to help you
out.  As a work-around, you can always send an e-mail directly to
misterhouse-users@... to create a new thread.

Those morons made the forum read-only (as promised.)  That is very typical of them.  They couldn't figure out how to administrate branches in SVN either.  When they can't figure something out, they come up with a crude workaround.  Welcome to the MH world!

That's odd retard.  I fixed it in two seconds.  And I sure as hell didn't create it.

I just found the link on Nabble to flip the READ-ONLY bit OFF.  I guess anyone and their uncle can flip this bit ON and OFF.  Perhaps it was switched back ON after Dmark turned it OFF because it was ON when I visited the forum (13:15 EST).  I wish they'd leave it OFF because I don't see the sense in preventing someone from posting through Nabble if they've already been accepted to post to the Misterhouse mailing list.

Those idiots turned it back ON?!  They did that for one reason: they are to stupid to unsubscribe my email from their miserable mailing list (every time I post it bounces off the list.)  So they fucked everybody else that uses this forum.  It is a perfect microcosm of what happened to the project.  They couldn't figure out how to administrate a branch in SVN, so they fucked everybody else by locking out my changes completely (all so they could patch, patch, patch in the main trunk, which is FUCKING BACKWARDS!)

I've had it with this shit.  Anyone who wants my help can contact me through private email.  I already have several "converts" who are moving away from the SVN version as it is just plain stupid to rely on patching monkeys.  We are currently testing the new Web site with the 2.103 version.  After that we will be folding in the X10 updates and all of the rest of it.  So it is the best of both worlds: the scenes and xAP updates that I got in this fall through Gregg Liming are in there and all of the out-of-date stuff (my version is ancient at this point) is being merged and tested.  There will ultimately be two public versions of MH to choose from.  It sure won't be a hard choice!

I turned that READ-ONLY bit on last week.   I was trying to avoid
replies to nabble only posts, including some ill-tempered posts from
dmark, that were getting quote-replied to the main mailing list.  This
would be confusing, as only partial threads were showing up on the
mailing list.

Looks like the READ-ONLY bit is currently off.  Lets leave it that way
so forum users can post more easily.   Those that do post from nabble,
be aware that anyone can post to nabble, so avoid replying to
inflammatory posts.

David, if you are reading this, I just updated the misterhouse-users
nabble forum to not be a Parent of your misterhouse-issues forum.     I
think that will avoid the problem you were seeing of having your posts
to misterhouse-issues bouncing off the misterhouse-users mailing list.
  If not, you probably also want to updated your forum so it does not
list misterhouse-users as a parent.
